Such a shame we never do any good in the FA cup since relegation. Even getting to R2 would generate £80 - 100k depending on fixtures and prize money. Would make a difference. Of course a playoff push would make a difference.

The thing is if we can discover a Bennett every couple of years we'll never have to worry .thats why we need a decent youth set up

Quoted from biggles9999
Aaron is getting stick on here but he was right with one comment. Even without the Bennett sale we would have reduced our loss in profits by roughly 400k on the previous year:


(Loss)/Profit On Ordinary Activities Before Taxation

2012 - 142,404


2011 - (936,177)




If without the Bennett sale we would have lost £564,000 then that equates to a decrease in loss of 376,177


Correct and a good point.

I still think we could do away with a few stewards! On a match day there are always quite a few just stood milling about!

Quoted from aaron rattray


we have got over 200 staff on a match day how hard would it be to walk up to 10 office staff and say your being made redundant or 30 stewards and say your not needed, walk up to a couple of the staff in the study support centre were i went in for work experiicne and say your being made redundant, so well done town for not making many staff redundant


I could've sworn that about 6 months ago you were saying we should make everyone redundant at town!

Err, how do we have a loss in profits?! Makes no sense; do you mean a reduction in our losses? Even so, what a way to run a business!

At the end of the day i am with Aaron on this one, the fact we have reduced overheads by the amount we have has allowed the Bennett money (football fortune some may say) to take us into profit.
Shaving that much money off your operating losses should be seen as a positive. I think i am correct in thinking that there was a reduction in playing budget for this season also so hopefully that trend will continue for this seasons figures.
If we can reduce that operating loss figure by half again this season or even better then the overall position of the club starts to look more attractive to investors....especially as i believe JF is not  to subsidise beyond this season or was it  next (?).

Comedy gold again Aaron!

"The operating losses without net player trading were £564,000 which were made worse as a result of low revenues from cup competitions."

That said [b]Fenty must be given credit for the Bennett money.[/b] He handled the sale, the refusal to be buy out the sell on clause etc very well.


Slightly off topic, saw Ryan come on as sub at Villa Park last sat. .......not very good, looks like the boy Fenty done good!!!  


Proud to be a Pleb!!
